Personal profile
Profile
My research interests are to characterise the health, welfare, and behavior of production animals by using precision technologies. My focus areas include automatic detection of disease and lameness, as well as phenotyping. Integrating data from multiple on-line sensor technologies enables automatic prediction of the monitored animals' health status, thereby improving management procedures, such as setting up alarms for undesirable events.
